  Durham Boat Company - Dreher Carbon Sculls   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
All the major components are made from prepreg carbon or, in the case of the blades, sandwich core construction of prepreg carbon and specially formulated syntactic foam to obtain the highest quality parts with the desired strength, weight, weight distribution, durability and surface finish.
This "carbon on carbon" design eliminates the possibility of movement because the handle is precisely constructed to tightly fit into the straight part of the shaft.
This method of manufacture was further enhanced in late 2002 to incorporate a manufacturing technique used for high modulus sculls.

Sculling should also help Carolina better prepare to race in other boats, as time in small boats helps rowers improve their skills for competition in the larger eights.
Additionally, because sculling can involve as few as one or two rowers, it is generally an easier way to continue rowing after college.
